ABOUT

This is a new project that has the interest of the label that my current band Til All Is One is signed to. While we are on a brief hiatus I'm looking to form this passion project with the right female musicians that can both sing and play instruments. My drummer (fromTAIO) Marco is quite adept at singing harmonies while playing and I myself am a lead singer and lead guitar player, but I'm looking for a Female lead singer that can match my intensity and has a dynamic voice and stage presence as well as a female bass player and female keyboardist (being able to sing harmonies while playing is a major plus). My objective with this project is to focus more on having the feminine quality be at the forefront; hence why I'm looking for a few female musicians that can really vibe with the project and have the ability to sing harmonies while playing. Definitely looking for serious inquiries only as this project will get signed to an independent label when all is said and done. Must be committed, non-druggie and have a true sense of style and presence/panache.Please only respond if the above prerequisites describe who/what you are as a musician/artist.
As a Side note... While my current band is pretty heavy, and aggressive at times I'm looking to make this project an antithesis to that in an effort to keep both groups easily distinguishable.The Influences below are merely a reflection of what's meant to be purported as a kind of blueprint of the sonic idea behind the project, but it by no means is a statement of strict parameters... just a guiding post for frame of reference. I'm personally extremely diverse and enjoy too great an amount of styles and artists to type them all into the influences category. I am open to creative thought processes and collaboration with this project as it's meant to be an expression of collective (male/female) consciousness.
